Bloomin' good things

The redbud trees here never cease to amaze me.



The blooms show up everywhere,



adding lovely, random bursts of color,



and lasting up to two months.



We liked them so much that we planted a few in our yard.



This is my third spring in Virginia.



And nothing shouts out "SPRING!" louder than the redbuds.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! The next time we go back east I want to go during the cherry blossom time. Definitely not going during the winter the next time (LOL).

BEAUTIFUL colors. Wow...I'm excited to see cherry blossoms here...they're already blooming in the south...soon...soon.

Gorgeous! We don't have those up there much, although they are hardy enough to survive. Hmmm...I think I need to add a few to our garden.
